In most families, men and women eat separately, usually on the floor, with each group gathered around a common bowl. The wealthy may eat at a table. Food is eaten with the right hand or sometimes a spoon. Many wealthy Djiboutians have adopted Western dining practices, eating with utensils at a table. Three meals a day are standard, with lunch being the largest meal. Schools and businesses close for two to four hours for a midday lunch break. Family members usually return home to eat lunch together. Men often skip meals for a day or more while chewing khat (a leafy plant that produces a mildly stimulating effect when chewed), as it suppresses the appetite.

Second largest country in Africa, tenth largest country in the world, diverse culture extending from the Mediterranean coast to the dunes of the Sahara Desert...Algeria. Even with its massive size the current status of Algeria’s economy is quivering in the lofty winds of the Tell Atlas Mountains. The economy tends to remain dominated by the state, which is accordingly a legacy of the country’s socialist post-independence development model. Hydrocarbons are the backbone for Algeria, accounting for 60% of budget revenues, 30% GDP, and 95% of export earnings. Reviewing the last five years we see the government halting privatization of state-owned industries, and increasing the restrictions of imports and foreign involvement. Algeria’s

The majority of rural Africans customarily eat one main meal a day and this is usually the evening meal. Upon arising, coffee, tea or milk or curds may form a small light meal while some people may be content to nibble on seeds. Throughout the day snacks of fruits, seeds, or nuts may be accompanied with beverages. In some areas a midday meal of fufu/ugali and relishes may be traditionally larger than the evening meal, which in this case would then be a cereal dish alone of gruel or fufu.
Every year, hundreds of expatriates arrive in Kuwait because of their poverty, and the reason behind that is that their governments’ economy is essentially weak. In addition, those people who live under poor conditions cannot earn their basic needs. For example, poor people cannot afford proper education and that would prevent them from getting a decent job to be able to provide their necessities. As a result, we have heard about those tragedies all over the years. Therefore, poor people leave their countries in order to survive through working outside their own country to ensure their needs and their family life. In the meantime, expatriates face a lot of trouble while working outside their country.
